by the fact, which puts practical politics
into the situation, that Mr.. Turner de
sires denomination and is avowedly a
candidate. We're he not, the Eastern
ohoremau who opposed him for the nom
ination in 1883 would this year be work
ing the wires for a Western Shore COVER
nor and an Eastern Shore comptroller.
This is where Mr. Jackson is handicap
ped. 1t it is undoubtedly the native
modesty of the Eastern Shore that causes
1t i'll all these political maneuVers to give
up the greater honol but hold fast To the
smaller office. One of these days a phil
osuphical politician will arise who will
see that the path to the Governor house
might run through the comptroller's of
fee, and then may follow an Eastern
Shore Governor.

SENATOR VEST, of Missouri, who IS
in New York undergoing treatment for
his eyes, is quoted as saying IN regard
to the captured Confederate flags that
he is Gin favor of presenting them to
Sherman, Foraker and Fairchlld to
cover their nakedness in progressive
ideas in statesmanship."-Et.
The Senator has evidently been doing
something himself in the line of "pro-
gressive craftsmanship" since a few
months ago, he would not be reconciled
to Mugwump president, but now ex-
presses confidence in Mr.. Cleveland's
denomination and re election.

THE COUNTY MAILS.

Inquiry at the Elkton postoffice this
week showed that confusion reigned
supreme in that important department
of Uncle Sans Government as to the
delivery Of mails throughout Cecil
county, incident upon the decision of
the Postoffice Department to make
radical changes in the mail routes Of
the county. We don't propose to cry
before we are hurt, or to censure the
Postoffice Department before its new
system of delivery along the line of the
new B. & O. has been fairly established.
That some temporary inconvenience is
to be expected is but natural, but
whether the service will be improved
and our local mail facilities be increased
by the proposed changes at least yet
remains to be seen. There should not
under any reasonably good system be
any one postoftice in Cecil county not
located on a railroad, at which daily
mail made up of matter posted at Elk
ton the county seat. should not be de
livered by noon of the same day. This
has been the case in the past, and ever
since North East was made distribu-
ting center. Heretofore mail matter
posted at Bay View, Zion, Calvert, Me
chanics' Valley and Lombard was col
lected daily by single messenger who
starting from Calvert at \. NJ, dellv-
cred his mails at North East at 7:45
A. NJ, in time to meet trains both north
and south on the P. w. & B. This
messenger waited at North East for all
morning mails, and starting on his re-
turn trip delivered his matter at Zion
about twelve O'Clock, and at Calvert
fifteen minutes later. This service was
regular, and reliable, it cost the govern
ment less than four hundred year. the
contractor at his own expense furnish
ing messenger for Mechanics Valley
which being farther eastward was not
in direct line of travel with the points
above named. Now it seems, the gen
eral Postoftice Department has decided
to discontinue North East as dlstri-
buting center, and to shift its work to
the line of the new B. & O. 1t pro-
poses to make Bay View common
starting point for two local routes, one
extending north to Calvert, and the
other stopping southwark at Leslie the
new station on the B. & O. Unless
this service is extended southwark to
embrace North East, we do not see
how mails from Elkton are to reach
their destination at Zion, Calvert and
other interior offices, except by some
indirect or round about course. At
present at least it seems to be practi-
cally impossible to gain any definite
information as to routes from Elkton to
interior points in the county, with the
prospect of this disturbance of local
facilities continuing for some time.
What is to be the final outcome of this
determination of the Postoffice Depart
ment to shift the line of distribution of
local mails from the p. w. & b., to the
B. & O. is problem.

The Democrats of Cleveland, Ohio,
by strict party vote of the Board OF
Aldermen, have decided to permit the
liquor shops to keep open on Sundays.
The Plain Dealey, the Democratic
Party organ, has the sense to see that
this pandering to the lowest and most
lawless elements of Society will prove a
boomerang, and it warns the liquor
dealers that the victory will be "a most
disastrous one for them.

AN OLD-FASHIONED FOURTH.

Grandfather Watts used to tell us boys
That a Fourth wa'n'ta Fourth without any
He would sry, with a thump of his hickory
stick,
That it made an American right down SICK
To see his sons on the Nations Day
Sit round in a sort of Il istless way,
With no Grafton and no traiuband,
No tirework show and no root beer stand
While his grtndsons, before they were our
of bibs,
Were ashamed great Scott fire of
squlbs.
Aud SO each Independence morn
Grandfather Watts took his powder horn,
And the tiint-loch shotgun his father had
When he fought Under Schuyler, a country
lad,
And Grandfather Watts would start and
tramp
Ten miles To the woods at Beaver Camp;
For Grandfather Watts used to say-and
Scowl-
That decent chipmunk or woodchuck or
owl
Was better company, friendly or shy,
Than folks who didn't keep Fourth Of July;
And SO he would pull his hat down on his
brow,
And march for the woods, sou east by SOU.
But once-ah. long, years ago;
For grandfather ; gone where good men go
One hot, hot Fourth, by ways of our own,
Such shortcuts aS boys have always known,
We hurried and followed the dear Old man
beyond where the Wilderness began,
TO the deep black woods at the foot of the
Iiunp,
And there was a clearing and stump
y stump in the heart of a great wide wood;
And there on that stump our grandfather
stood,
Taking and shouting ont there in the sun,
And firing that funny old tlint-Iock gun
once in a minute, his head all bare,
II ,ving his Fourth Of July ont there
The Fourth of July he used to know
Back in eighteen and twenty or so.
First, with his face 10 the heavens blue,
He read the decoration" through;
And then, with gestures to left and ri .ht,
He made an Grafton erudite,
Full of words six syllabes long;
Aud then our grandfather broke into song,
And soaring the squirrels in the tire :,
Gave "IIail, Columbit." to the breeze.
And tell You, the old man never heard
When we joined III the chorus, word for
word,
But he sang ont strong to the bright blue
sky,
And ii voices joined in his Fourth of July,
He heard them as echoes from days gone by.
And when h !. had done, we all slipped back,
AS still as we came, on our twisting track,
While words more clear than the flint lock
shots
Rang in our ears.
And Grandfather Watts
He Shoudered the gun his father bore,
And marched off home, nor west by nor.

The Kennebec Light and Heat Company
yesterday perfected arrangements for the
establishment of an electric light station in
this CITY, The contract between the Edwards
Company and the Light and Heat Company
was perfected by which the latter company
is to have 400 horse power; the station to be
at the east end of the dam. The Company
have been examining the various water
wheels, before determining upon what wheel
to use and they decided yesterday to use the
Holmes wheel made by Mr.. 2. c. Holmes
of Gardiner, they being satisfied after an
examination that it was the best water-wheel
IN existence, using greater percentage of
water which passes through the tiume and
running much more steadily than any other
wheel. The Company have purchased 20
miles of wire, which has already arrived in
the city, and contracted for their poles.
Work will be commenced at once, and it will
be pushed as radidly as possible, in order to
have the light introduced at the earliest mo-
ment. A good deal of labor has got to be
done to the tlume and bulkhead at the east
end of the dam, but it is believed that the
work will will be completed sometime in
October Both the arc and incandescent
systems are to be introduced, and the most
improved methods of electric lighting to be
employed. Our citizens will have an OPP
portunty, if they desire, to choose between
the electric light and gas.
